' Cbn- . trary to reports Turkey Is well sup plied with -food, and, while prices are unusually high, they are much lower than those prevailing in the Balkan states and In some other countries of Europe. 1 The following list of current prices which the consumer is called upon to pay shows the actual condition: . i Flour 26 cents a pound; potatoes 11 cents; beans 20 cents; meat 50 : cents, and eggs 90 cents a dozen. ' ' Vegetables of all kinds are not - only abundant but' relatively cheap. Clothing and shoes, also may be had, but generally the prices charged are , to high as to take them far beyond the purses of Hie poor. Hotel rates . are lower than in most European'cit- les. and the service is as good -as could be expected in a country just emerging from a long war. t . In order: that foodstuffs, may be placed within range of the poor; the ' American food administration is now soiuus : wuiLt? uuur , tit iua vwils a pound, which Is expected to bring down other prices as far-asthe actual necessities are concerned. The .work of the Americans is attracting wide attention and. much interest. I Dr6gs, and in fact all medicines, are' very scarce and. expensive. Most large centers in Turkey and ' Asia Minor need medical assistance. ' - The care of a million or more des titute Armenian, Syrian and Greek refugees in the Caucasus and thruout Asia Minor presents a most serious problem.' It' is estimated-that there are in these countries no less, than haif a million fatherless children whose condition demands immediate relief. The American committee for relief in the Near East is taking up ' the- task, but is finding that its re sources are heing severely taxed. - ASSOCIATED PRESS' . .

Stopped Cough After Influenza . "I want to say that Foley's Honey and Tar 1b the 'best cough medicine I ever tried," writes E. B. McDowell, Jl. Ft T. 1, Box 119, Arlington; Tenn. "My son had Influenza. Ho had the worst kind of a cough and I tried everything, but nothing did any good. God sent me a friend with Foley's Honey and Tar, and his cough was bettor the next day and In two days he had no cough at all." Foley's Honey and Tar stops harsh, racking cougtiB; eases wheezy breathing. It is effective, yet pleasant to take. For sale by Medford Pharmacy, A TEMPLE UPON a commanding- hill overlooking the Htt of Klai'ri ath. Falls and surround, fig region, stands an impos ing structure of classic Grecian architecture that might well be called the teiuple of discord for hi its incompleted walls dwells the goddess of dissension -or perhaps the spirit of Pandora 'Bud her famous box:; -The. structure cost the taxpayers $ loU,l)00 and prospects are that it will never be completed, for the $180,000 was oiilv the first install- tvmnf Tri'TTlnninfliVi iiivr lmnsiff stniirll " , i.-.y : Klamath Falls was long from direct "connection or world and as is the custom in such regions, the citizens quarreled among themselves for excitement and amuse ment and to break the mottjny of village life. Then came the railroad and the attempt to switch the business portion of the city a mile toward the railroad bv a development company. This crystalled the quarreling community into two 'factions the pioneers and property owners of the old town in the one and the new-comers and develop ment company in the other. What one wanted , the other opposed and as a result, neither was, successful and the business gradually shifted into the region between the old town and the now and both lost iit. ! , The new coiners and development company, to boOm their project, succeeded in locating the court house at their end of the town through a county judge who was also an official of the company. Af ter.$iS0,000 had been" expend ed on the pretentious structure; the. old faction enjoined the issuance of warrants for its" completion and the judge was recalled for building it. .. .- 'i--n . ; . i After several years of inactivity and Mtigation during which the county court solved its. financial problem: a count" judge was elected pledged to' complete the court house; Instead of living up to his pre-election pledges, he let a contract tor a new court recalcitrant county judge was recalled for violating his pledges and a 6ew judge elected, who prointly repudiated the contract tor the new structure .although $42,000 had been paid, and the contractor balance and the litigation for the.lawyers, one of whom litigation will eost the tax pavers a total of SoO.OOO. i Klamath thus has two, court houses Avithout, for the time being able to use either and a number of first class law suits on its nanus, it lias each court house, "and its. community quarrels made the town a synon3ni" for discord. . , r . .., 2so Oregon town has better prospects for the future than Ivlaniatn alls. It is tural and stock region still in the infancy of its develop ment, and the natural outlet for a vast timbered region. It is a shame that the community cannot get-together, com promise its factional fights; good. The energy, activity . and. money spent in village wrangles would build up a city that would unite the, pld and new sections' as vital parts of a metropolis for ' such central uregon. .... , CROCODILE " OXCERNING the patriotism of the coiurtry press in J effectively supporting tne Portland Journal throws put this sop: i ; i The up-state newspaper publishers areNi highly effective factor In rais ing the loan quotas. Their advertising space and their circulation Is all they have to sell. White paper costs them heavily. It costs them money tp set In type the news Btories which they publish free In creating inter est in the loan. ;- . , ' ' The average up-state newspaper man is the packhorse -of the com munity. When free things are to be done for the public welfare the com munity turns to him. In all public, matters he is the man who pays the printer that sets the type that carries the free publicity. .. So many such things come along in the course of a year that the money he pays out for white paper and newspaper composition on gratis activities be comes a large factor in the overhead of hiB business and a very heavy burden. ' "; In all past loans the newspaper men have done their bit, and done it effectively and sacrificlngly. They will do it again, and; with their com bined power, will be a big factor in making Oregon first. . -, ' The Journal advocates the plan adopted in Washington county whereby the' county, court pays for liberty loan spaee from the general fund remarking: "In that way the burden is borne by those best able to pay. It is also borne by all and not by a few. .The wide distribution of the cost through that process makes it very light on everybody. It seems an entirely proper plan." . ;. ; The sudden interest the Journal manifests iri the poor downtrodden country press is touching but ludicrous, Pharisaical and hypocritical in view of the campaign of slander it has conducted for years in the Successful 'effort to deprive the country pi;ess of its legitimate business and in attempting to regulate its.advertising rates. ; ;v 'J', ; j.u is uutj'uiat, ,tue country press nas supponea iiDcrxy loans effectively but no more effectively than it does every project tor the welfare of community, state and nation. It is literally true that the small the community " and the Journal has done what it could to hamstring the "willing packhorse.',';:v ? , . The publication o'f the aelihquent tax; list JS; universal ly, acknowledged the most effective method of collecting taxes and preventing the operation of tax title sharks, and its cost is borne wholly by the delinquents as a well earlicd penalty.;' y. et. the J otirnal by perSistelit misrepresentation held up the publication as ,a crime, and the newspapers as grafters and attacked every paper publishing the list to discredit it for handling legitimate busineSsi--iIn: iio other way can the county contribute more effectively to tne' sup port of its "packhorse" than by this puhlication. . . i , Not content however, with abolishing this- .source of revenue, the Jouiual also plit a bill through by misrepre sentation to regulate the rates the country press--exempt-ing Multnomah charges for legal advertisiiig,r making them less than any well managed paper can charge and do business at a profit. Only the fact that the law is ineffec tive and on its face invalid prevents a serious loss in the revenue the papers derive ifrom. legal advertising. , It is evident that the Journal's interest in taxnavcrs is .Only in the interest of deliiiquents-K)r it would'liot favor making tuem pay tor newspaper patriotism. ?';-,; ."i. '.:, ' The country press is fully :tipable of running its own business without the crocodile sympathy, of the,-journalistic bird, that, fouls its own nest in the. interest of petty spite and the country press is patriotic -enough to support the liberty loans without being paid to do it by- the taxpayers.
